HostGator Review  Click here to visit HostGator website Introduction Based in Boca Raton Florida, HostGator has been in the web hosting business since 2002. While only having been in the web hosting business since 2002, the company has managed to build up an impressive 30,000+ domains hosted within 3 years of operation. It is as the company says: they have eaten up the competition. Competitors no doubt take this "gator" as a serious threat to their business. HostGator is committed to providing reliable service, superior support and affordable pricing to buisnesses and individuals seeking quality shared, reseller, or dedicated web hosting solutions. HostGator uses the Planet datacenter in Dallas, Texas. Daily back-ups plus a 99.9% uptime guarantee provides the reliability needed to keep your website online at all times. The company's 30-day money back guarantee is a "no questions asked" guarantee and refunds are promised within 24 hours. Price and Features The basic plan is called "Hatchling" and is priced at $6.95 a month. Hard Disk space is quite large at 3,500MB and monthly data transfer limit is a generous 50,000MB. SpamAssasin software is available to help you reduce the amount of junk e-mail in your inbox. Like many other web hosting companies, HostGator uses the popular cPanel Control Panel. Shared hosting accounts also come with Fantastico, a tool that lets you install many types of powerful open-source applications such as Coppermine Photo Gallery, Mambo Content Management System, PHP Nuke, OScommerce and so on. Also standard on the list of features are POP3 email accounts, unlimited mail and domain forwarding, CGI, PHP, MySQL, Shared SSL and loads of other features. A downside is the 20 pop3 email account limit on the Hatchling Plan. "Baby" plan offers unlimited pop3 accounts at $9.95/month. It also lets you host multiple domain names (unlimited) and provides access to the SiteStudio website building software, which is reasonably easy and has a choice of many templates and color schemes to let you create an attractive website. Customer Service/Technical Support Host Gator provides a number of customer support options, including
There is also live 24x7/365 telephone support. Conclusion HostGator has been able to grow at a fast rate because of its commitment to provide a fully-featured hosting package at an affordable price and with prompt customer support. Although the pricing is not exactly bargain basement, in terms of value and service, Hostgator package still packs a good punch for personal web sites owners or small businesses looking for value-for-money web hosting. Many veterans and hosting gurus will tell you that at HostGator you will always give a pretty good deal. So if you are planning to have a website for the first time or have been frustrated by your current web host, HostGator might just be the web hosting service provider you are looking for.
